| Thank You, Denizens of Issilith: Closure of PHAGEBORN: Online Card Game | 2024-02-20 | Dear Denizens of Issilith, It's with a heavy heart that we confirm the closure of PHAGEBORN: Online Card Game. We truly believe we had brought something special to the tactical card game genre with the use of Avatars and lanes (and the planned introduction of 2x2), but sadly we ran out of runway. We're immensely grateful to all players for their support and for enjoying the game with us. Thank you for being a part of our journey. The PHAGEBORN Team |

| Reina's Curse | 2024-01-11 | The battlefield trembled beneath the clash of steel. Reina, a figure of resolute authority, stood at the forefront of the Drakkorith forces, her armour gleaming with the reflections of the tumultuous conflict.

| Shangrilla | 2023-12-14 | Shangrilla, a Duran of imposing stature from a proud mountain tribe, defied the swift and graceful norms of martial arts. Unlike his peers, he didn't rely on armour, leveraging his natural durability. In his youth, he gained little recognition, lacking the agility that traditional fighters prized.

His approach was deliberate and methodical, a stark departure from the flashy displays commonly seen in tournaments.

| Tarro & Kogu: Kindred Fates | 2023-11-30 | In a calculated pursuit, Tarro trailed the creature, navigating through the aftermath of its destructive path from settlement to settlement.

| Card Art Showcase: Lanni Swiftblade | 2023-11-23 | Dear Denizens of Issilith, "Quick and sharp - a singularly unpleasant combination.” Once a sibling tribe to the powerful Vestige witches, the Lanni faced their own trials with the emergence of dangerous new enemies and the descending madness of their Vestige kin. Seeking refuge on the Emerald Isle, they undertook the meticulous task of preserving the island's diverse flora and fauna. Building formidable defences, they valiantly defended their haven against the relentless D'dall creatures.

| Seedlings | 2023-11-16 | Seedlings, once revered as the gentle offspring of the Eternal Tree, have evolved into agents of chaos and territorial domination. A stark reflection of the witches' descent into madness, these once benevolent creatures, nurtured like cherished children, now serve a far more sinister purpose.

| Card Art Showcase: Klexrav Machinist | 2023-11-02 | Dear Denizens of Issilith, "The Klexrav could teach the rest of Issilith many insightful things about machine-work and engineering, even the resourceful Ubbu. Alas, they are not very forthcoming about their mechanical creations.” Klexrav Machinists are a unique breed of spider-like engineers, renowned for their mastery over technology. Their mechanical creations rival even those crafted by the esteemed Ubbu engineers, yet their primary motive is quite distinct. These ingenious inventors predominantly craft their marvels for personal use, keeping the vast majority for themselves. There are those who are an exception to this, the Merc Caste wor |

| Beware the witching hour of the Vestige | 2023-10-26 | In the mystical realm of Issilith, the land was guarded by its own enigmatic protectors, the legendary Witches of Vestige, whose ageless existence was the stuff of legends. These formidable beings had long remained in a dormant slumber, biding their time as the world flourished. However, an ominous presence has arrived awakening the witches from their long slumbers. This sinister force heralded a cataclysmic change that cast a shadow over the land of Issilith. From the once-vibrant Vast Marsh to the ominous Cursed Woods a malevolent corruption now crept across Solgard, distorting the very essence of Issilith's natural laws and energies. As a |

| Avatar Lore: Nex, The Matriarch | 2023-10-12 | Nex, known as the Matriarch, stands as a unique and enigmatic entity within the vast cosmos of PHAGEBORN. She defies conventional understanding, for Nex is not a singular being but a culmination of all iterations that preceded her, representing the intricate cycle of life and rebirth within the Void. As her life cycle nears its end, Nex incubates a special Voidling within her, devouring all the other Voidlings until it grows strong enough to devour Nex from the inside completely. Through this process, Nex imparts her entire consciousness, along with all the knowledge, wisdom, and memories of her previous iterations. Her existence embodies con |
| Card Art Showcase: Zarkk, The Dweller of Eternity | 2023-10-05 | Dear Denizens of Issilith, "The form you see is just a probe, a harbinger. Some day soon, we would love to show you exactly what it is attached to." - Hazzerin, Harbinger of Tza'thog Within the Void, the vast realm where Oblivion roam, hidden amongst the shadows, dwell insidious entities that yearn to spill forth into our own world. Among these enigmatic beings stands Zarkk, an initially unassuming Voidling whose deceptive simplicity hides his true nature. What we see as his ever-shifting form represents but a fraction of his cosmic existence, an entity adrift between realms, cautiously testing the boundaries before fully committing to our re |
| Voidlings | 2023-09-28 | When the residents of Issilith recount their stories, they often speak of ominous legends surrounding the overwhelming might of Oblivion Primes and the malevolent specters of ancient, grotesque mis-evolved entities. Yet, amid the dark abyss of The Void, one must not overlook the unsettling potential of lesser void dwellers. While it is undeniable that an awakened Oblivion Prime can ascend to a god-like state of supremacy, and certain mis-evolved horrors possess an insatiable hunger capable of devouring entire worlds, it is the relentless hordes of the Voidlings that pose a different, but equally formidable, threat. Marooned in foreign realms, |
| Secret Communication | 2023-09-22 | I will make this communication brief, lest a fellow assassin stumble upon me so distracted in thought during our telepathic communion. Does Commander Hazzerin send further word regarding our plot? I understand his need for surety when it comes to attacking the Overminds themselves, but, as you can imagine, one who has dedicated their life to such a deadly craft has a limit when it comes to watching and waiting without drastic action. Living within this world, where our every movement is connected to our antagonists within a maze of string, and tendrils, and consciousness… I can’t help but fear that any moment our secrets will catch on a trip |
